    Well Idk about that 😁

    I am a manifestor generator so I need both the collective as much as the me-time.

    And I have to be careful not to go in the exyremes. Right now I isolated myself a bit too much...

    • Well, in a collective you can manage both, the time for yourself and the walk on the wild side.

      Close and far away ! Just send some ropes and they will join ya !

      Why do you fell isolated ? The area ?

      • @Snoopy

        Nice...

        No, with the heat and watching my funding, I just stayed home. Going out of the flat was really hard with the hot air.

        • Sadly the south of spain will become hotter years after years...the only way to decrease the temperature is to build a small pond surrounded by trees and covers walls with vegetables.

          • @Snoopy

            I know... basically applying permaculture principles.

            To do that I will have to live away from the city and so I will need a car... 😔

            • Or cover the building and street with some protection with your neighboors :)

              • @Snoopy

                That might be harder to do...

                • But it can be a collective projet with neighboor and the mayor as shared garden. If everyone complain that the street it too hot, i see a common ground, a common goal where you connect connect each other and strive for a better environnement. :)

      • @Snoopy

        But I did isolate myself...

        • But how ? Is there any clue ?

          • @Snoopy

            Any clue? No need. I just did not go out. I did begun to do yoga at first but then realized that it git my bidy even hotter. So I did only some study and work on myself...

            • Yep during summer, we take it slow. But you organize activities that attract people and also come for healing ? They probably feel good there :)

              • @Snoopy

                During summer, many people live...

                I was talking about my own healing, but yes that would be the goal.

                • Well in my ex-association we welcomed refugee or women that escaped some form of violence.

                  I wasn't part of it, in fact my past association was a platform for other project, association. An huge maelstrom of ideas, project.

                  And i noticed that being part of a collective, doing activities and having the responsabilities to manage some part of it helped everyone in the healing process. We used a lot tool for popular education, there were a horizontale governance.

                  The landscape also played a big role. We loved taking a break and watching the hill and its village, the milky way...

                  There were lot events from construction to music and people came.

                  So that's why i tought about that when you talked about your own healing and healing people. I feel similar vibe in you. :)

                    Beautiful Snoopy. 😍😍😍

                    Truth be told. That was my idea for a long time. But it never happened. For so many reasons. And Idk if I ever will do it. I am never going back to France... I just need to resolve a few things right now... I guess.

                    • You can just come back in france in peaceful place for a short vacation, a week for example ? :)

                      For this project, they called 50 people, at the end only 4-8 stayed to build its core.

                      From what i know, that's lot hardship and some people left the boat. You car do it in a smaller scale, my old association was too big. ^^

                      • @Snoopy
                        France is definitely not peaceful for me. Maybe the Auvergne is though or Brittany.

                        I still have my stuff in Nantes and I pay 54 every month to keep it there. I would need to fetch it at some stage. Although if I can ask for someone to do it for me it would be great...

                      • @Snoopy

                        The hardest is definitely the human side. Patrick and Brigitte Baronnet have worked since the 70s at creating something similar.
                        And they call that issue "le PFH" (le putain de facteur humain) 🤭

                  • @Snoopy

                    So you are also intuitive huh? 💖💖💖

                    • Maybe a little, but there is the background, the way we express ourselve...so given these data, i'm not sure if i'm an intuitive person or guessed it right. :)

                      • @Snoopy

                        The vibe is very important for me.

                        I have developped an approach called Resonant feedback and one of my workshop is Draw your vibe...

                        Well, the great thing is that you are using both (data and intuition). That makes you very much holistic...

                        It is a beautiful strength.

              • @Snoopy
                I have no xhoice but taking it slow.

                I would like to run things online though... having a summer program so that people can do it and take care of themselves

                • That's good to take it slow. There is place as "retraite bouddhiste" where you learn to slow down and pay attention to your environnement and breath. :)
